Some 400 Ayutthaya residents moved into a temporary shelter at Thammasat University's Rangsit Campus in Pathum Thani's Khlong Luang district yesterday.
Deputy Rector for Student Affairs Parinya Thewanaruemitrakul said the shelter, located in the campus' Gymnasium 2, provided basic facilities for sleeping on the floor, blankets, a place to do laundry, and a kitchen along with some food supplies. It can support 1,200-1,800 people.Evacuee Setthapat Jutipakworapong said his home in Muang Ayutthaya was so heavily flooded that his family couldn't live there and had moved to City Hall. However, conditions there were poor, with overcrowding and a shortage of food, prompting them to seek shelter at Thammsat. He said many more people wanted to shelter at the campus but transport was scarce.
